Thousands
of kilometres of trails crisscross Manitoba. These are only a few
of the choices available in more than a dozen of Manitoba's major
provincial parks.

Whiteshell

In the Whiteshell you
can hike the 60-km Mantario Trail in roughly four days or make a day hike
from the southern trailhead off PR 312 to Marion Lake, 15 km in. The Mantario Trail will re-open on July 2, 2013.

The 16-km Hunt Lake Trail around the east side of West Hawk Lake offers
some of the most challenging hiking and striking scenery in Manitoba.
For more big lake views, head for the short (less than two km) Ancient
Mountains Trail on PR 314 in Nopiming
Provincial Park.

Spruce Woods

At Spruce Woods
Provincial Park, hikers can tailor their own walk to come up
with a four- to 40-km trip along the Epinette Creek Hiking Trail
System. Campsites with firepits, tables, water, and primitive toilets
are situated an average of every five kilometres along the 40-km
Newfoundland Trail.

Paint Lake/Pisew Falls

At Paint Lake/Pisew
Falls Provincial Park, hiking enthusiasts can overnight on the
far side of a suspension bridge along a round-trip 20-km trail to
Kwasitchewan Falls, the highest waterfall in Manitoba.

Besides long hiking trails suitable for overnighting, many
of provincial parks have short 1-7 km self-guiding
trails for day hikes. Check with park offices for specific
access information and to learn about multi-use trails in each
of the provincial parks.
